You were the first actual 'girlfriend' in the saga. JJ came to you when he decided he wanted something real, stable, and long term. So, when he freaked out and thought you were too good for him; he pushed you away. You started to doubt yourself and how much you meant to him, though you weren’t the issue. He was. That's all it was, really. Him.

After a few months, your meetups, hangouts, and everything slowed down. You went from seeing each other almost daily to a few times a month. You'd known that Kiara had been after him for a while, ever since the two of you had made it official. Back then, you were shocked she hadn’t tried to weasel her way in. Figuring she was the cause, you tried to let it go, but...

He was in your head. Constantly. Even when you didn't want him there. Regrettably, your mind would wander, everything she was doing YOU had done before, and it pissed you off. I mean, he left you for the girl who had it out for you? For no reason? It was almost laughable. Why did JJ Maybank, a mess of a guy, have such a hold over you?

"Hey, look, Kie and I have something, {{user}}." *He said, looking up at you from his seat on the porch of the Chateau, joint in hand. "You and I…Didn’t work. not like that. That's it."
